Standard Oil Company History:

The Standard Oil Company, established in 1870 in Ohio by John D. Rockefeller, was the largest oil refiner in the world. Supreme Court ruled they were engaging in an oil monopoly and the multinational company closed in 1911. The Seven Sisters were the successors to the Standard Oil companies.
